Well, E! Fashion Police is back. I watched with an open mind as Kathy Griffin, the outspoken, American comedienne, stepped into the cold shoes of the dear departed Joan Rivers. Both huge gay icons. Is that what makes one an expert on red carpet fashion?... Really?! We've just had the Golden Globes and guess who they voted best dressed. Yes - that's correct - J-Lo in Zuhair Murad. All I can say is that they must think the only people who watch this show are gay men, drag queens and strippers. Their take on fashion is without sophistication or femininity and for once I actually feel sorry for the actresses being critiqued.
Which, by way of my last post, brings me neatly on to the gloves worn by Mrs Amal Clooney. Now, I love a glove - opera-length is my favourite but coloured cashmere and wrist-length will do as well (depending on the outfit of course). So let's return to Amal. There she stood, beautiful and in "couture Dior" as she delighted in telling us. My question is, What were those white, very badly fitting gloves for? Had she just finished the washing up, as some very unkind commentators suggested? As if! She obviously doesn't eat anything, so washing up what? Had she forgotten to get a manicure? Would no-one lend her any diamonds? Or, did she believe that as Hollywood Royalty, like The Queen it was not suitable to actually touch the lesser mortals around her? All those sweaty palms and bacteria. Whatever - maybe she just thought they looked nice. Well, the right gloves could have, but I'm sure these were not them. The thing to look for in the upcoming awards season is when Amal and Angelina are on the red carpet at the same time... You know who the winner of that could be - Jennifer Aniston!
Now, all of you that know me know I'm not averse to anything helping me look like Me, but Better. Yes, I wore a brace for three years until recently to pull my teeth together (gaps are so aging). Fact - my teeth are still wired from behind to prevent any subsequent movement. Botox, fillers, hours in the gym and now I'm blonde (although this was not my idea I should point out, but great anyway). I also whiten my teeth from time to time, but not glow-in-the-dark white. But today I saw it - the Hollywood White Smile. I'm going to review this - are terrifyingly white teeth the Botox of 2015? I'm not sure yet - will let you know...

My Winter white Trousers had their first outing today. No red wine or food stains to report but the height of my heels caused my feet to hum for a further 15 hours.
Joy of joys - Alina is back from her holiday and my sequinned sleeves are in production. Awaited with huge anticipation!

It's becoming very cold now, so it must be time to buy swimwear. Now I remember why I was going to get a full-body tan. So I wouldn't look so tragic in the mirror when trying on swimwear. Too late for that, as I've cancelled it until next week. Oh well, we'll just have to pretend I don't look all white (not Hollywood white) and pasty.
Happy Shopping!
